Abstract
Pneumococcal diseases are the first cause of bacterial infections in the aged adult. While the considerable related morbi-mortality is potentially preventable through vaccination, the interest of anti-pneumococcal vaccination in the aging and older adult populations is still actively debated. Effectiveness appraisal of current pneumococcal vaccines in this population and the perspectives in terms of preventive strategies against S. pneumoniae infections are presented.
